Subtle sound

During all these years of being around , I have forgotten to tell you that the book I warmly and kindly advise you to read and sit with is Subtle sound, a collection of teaching of Maurine Stuart,
A Rinzai teacher beyond Rinzai and Soto. These days it s the book that inpires me most apart from Shobogenzo and good old poetry.
Beware! it might shatter your little world to pieces, if you let it read you!

Subtle Sound is a worthwhile and jaw-dropping read. Very much enjoyed the koan involving Bach's Prelude and Fugue Book 2, BWV 889. Amazon.xxx has a sample with Christianne Jaccottet (harpsichord) and/or Martin Galling (piano).
